It was so eye opening to be in Tokyo with its completely spotless public transportation, incredibly helpful and kind people, no trash on the ground, very minimal police presence and what cops were there were all jovial old men who never have to do much. It’s paradise.

I used cashless payment methods about as much if not a little more than cash but cash is definitely essential still.
